We went to a reciter for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), so he recited through the microphone and blew into it?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My brother, who is thirteen years old, has had his psyche affected, so my mother took him to one of the reciters, who recited over him and over another sick woman through the microphone, blowing over them with it. Then he said, "Recite al-Fatihah three hundred times, and there is no harm in you, by the permission of Allah." The mother said to him, "When reciting, I felt some tingling." He said to her, "You are afflicted with possession." What is the ruling on such a reciter, O Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
This is worse than that. Why do you go to an ignorant or crazy person to seek treatment from him? Go to the people of knowledge and the people of correct creed, and to the one who is skilled in ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) in the manner prescribed by the Shari'ah. Yes. And reciting through the microphone is not sufficient; he must recite directly over the patient and blow directly over him. This is what benefits, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
